Sound Proofing a door. Ideas !!!
I live in a unit, flat, apartment, whatever you call it. Any ways it
gets a little noiseing in the hallway from time to tme and would like
to sound proof my main door.
Its just a hollow one, problaby why it snot doing frack to stop any
noise. Probalby easist way is to buy a sold door, but I like a project
:)
I was thinking of putting something into the door to sound proof it,
but not sure what.
Any ideas ???

Google ''Sound proofing a door'' for ideas. I'm not saying to buy the
products you see, but to get ideas on what needs to be done:
Thick foam tape around the opening, foamboard on the door itself, air
space between the foam and the door, a loud stereo, etc.

Drill a hole in the door & use spray in foam you can buy in a can at Home
Depot

Good idea, ceptin you might be drilling a lot of holes, as there is
corrugation/bracing on the inside of hollow core doors.
Also, that HD spray foam , Great Stuff, comes in 3 diff. "expandabilities".
A quick and dirty way is simply to buy 4x8 sheets of sound deadening board
and attach it to the door--forgot what it's called, but I bleeve HD has it.
Attaching on both the inside and outside of the door would be optimal.
Also, getting the hallway itself treated could be a big help. Carpeting is
a great sound deadener for hallways.
Don't know what else the owner would spring for, but if he's like most
owners, proly not much.

Or drill a slightly larger hole and stick a water hose in it. That should
dampen the excitement.
